"Senior year. And then life. Maybe that's the way it worked. High school was just a prologue to the real novel.
Everybody got to write you -- but when you graduated, you got to write yourself. At graduation you got to collect your teacher's pens and your parents' pens and you got your own pen. And you could do all the writing."

-Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
